Thanks for getting the fork specs.  I have no idea how to change the fork oil - or check the current level.
As for the fork travel - that info will come in very handy with the ol' "zip-tie on fork" trick.  Since I don't trail brake (yet), I'll want to only use 2/3 to 3/4 of the range (80 - 90mm) (reason: since I let off the brakes before I turn - I need the forks to rebound quicker for a stable turn in).
But, if I switch over to trail braking - I'll want to use all of the shock travel.

Well, took the bike out for a spin today.  The new suspension settings make a world of difference!  The bike feels so smooth now, and I feel so much more comfortable on it.  I thought I was cruzing down I-79 at 85mph - but when I looked at the spedometer, it read 110mph.  So, either the speedo is way off... or the new suspension settings are that much better.  (I think it's a little bit of both).  Either way... I can't wait to see what results this will yield at the track!
